Cooking a pot of fresh pasta; steaming a blend of seasonal vegetables; baking chocolate chip cookies from scratch. Close your eyes and it’s easy to picture these and so many other cooking-related activities happening in kitchens around the world. You can almost smell the deliciousness as it rises from the stovetop.
But there’s something a bit less sweet or savory to consider when thinking about cooking and how it affects your kitchen and home. Naturally, when we cook, our kitchens collect excess moisture and steam, which can lead to mold and mildew – which in turn, can lead to health issues like congestion, throat irritation, coughing, and more.
One of the best, most proven ways to take care of this overall problem is by installing a range hood in your kitchen, which works to remove excess steam, heat, carbon monoxide, and other pollutants. In this recent blog post from Faber, learn about the importance of having a range hood and get tips on how to use and maintain it properly so your kitchen stays clear of excess heat and moisture – and stays ready to use at a moment’s notice!
